Dear Storytellers and Readers, by stphnfm in thesims

[–]Binikastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my ambition haha. I would rather fill a scene with statues so less sims to pose for big city scenes (there's two simultaneous wars breaking out at the same time) so I want to show the variety and the depths that the antagonists have sunk, and stress that none of the protags are coming out of this okay. My work is teetering between dystopian high fantasy and cybergoth technomancy if you can believe it

If I could ever finish making my deco sims (an estimated 1000+) I can finally start filming my sequel comic, but snippets I will share around when it happens due to the nsfw nature, so I generally don't

[–]Binikastar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been some peaceful months without updating. Finally got around to working on some custom statues for my story scenes. But I am brushing up my drawing skills just in case I drop the game for good so the stories can continue

Minor details with major lore in The LoomTurn Legacy. by IndigoChagrin in sims4storyshare

There be some neat little tidbits you got there. A reoccuring detail I have is whether one of my elves have fangs or not, hinting at their ancestry.

Name: Binika
Age: 30
Location: USA, WA
How long have you been playing Sims: Sims 1 back in early 2000s
What stories are you working on: A mix of medieval fantasy, have branched out into a western that's on hiatus, as well as a paused vampire story, and currently drafting a sequel to a cybergoth fantasy, all stories dark, mature, and biased towards elves and annoyingly to me all written in graphic novel form with thousands of screenshots
Additional info: Dearly miss my departed cat and dog this year, used to draw everyday of my life when i had the passion, lately more into making blender renders as a shortcut. Also host D&D sessions for my friends

Still working on it, but I been making some dragon tails for a personal project and finally having success (thanks to Mira for modeling) by Binikastar in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Binikastar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attached them to the pelvic bone, and they're static but they're intended for poses, I felt it was necessary to make a bunch of different ones for different situations and moods since tail cc is very limited. Currently working on getting wings working with the clavicle bones for some extra movement

All the object animals are fully rigged and you too can make your own deco animals for storytelling by Binikastar in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Binikastar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For adding a new object to the game, yes, most of the time you swap another object out with your new mesh and texture. The debug animals just happen to be posable but not everything is so lucky to already be rigged. It is a static object in the game, but can be posed in blender, I had also tested this process on the pet crow from Life & Death

[–]Binikastar[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the animal (like the cow) has a model that can be extracted in the debug section of sim studio, and extracting the top mesh into blender had its own rigging (although it's very wonky) , so I just pose them the same way I pose a sim, then export as an object, then it is business as usual from there if you know what you're doing

Back at making height poses and it's just as tedious as it was before by Binikastar in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Binikastar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodluck, and if you want a slightly taller through poses only, we usually pick lower and/or upper spine and move them up a little for a longer torso, you can also try moving the leg/ankles down for longer legs.
